Shooting at father's corpse

A naked man hangs with an arrow in his belly, tied by his arms to a tree. In front of him stands a man drawing his bow to shoot a second arrow. In the background, watching figures stand before a castle; one wipes his tears away with his cape. The print depicts an episode from a story originating from the 'Gesta Romanorum' (Chapter 15), a Latin collection of stories and anecdotes from the 14th century. Two sons of a deceased king fight for the inheritance. A judge decides the case by binding the deceased ruler to a tree. The son who shoots closest to his father's heart wins and will be the successor to the throne.
